One simple approach is to dampen the area with a 50/50 mix of vinegar and water, let it sit for at least 15 minutes, then blot up as much of it as possible with paper towels, like you did before.
If you're not sure, look for the enzyme protease in the ingredients list. This is the enzyme that can break down stubborn and stinky protein stains like eggs, milk, blood, urine and other bodily fluids.

Create a 50/50 mixture of white vinegar and warm water in a spray bottle. Spray the vinegar solution liberally over the affected area of wood flooring and allow it to soak for 5-10 minutes. Vinegar helps neutralize odors and prepares the wood for drawing out remaining urine that has soaked deeper into the grain.
Enzymatic cleaners are made from non-pathogenic bacteria, which help them fight stain and odor through a natural process. The cleaners accelerate the natural decomposition of organic waste without producing the byproducts that emit odors. Bio-enzymatic cleaners are non-corrosive and do not harm the environment.
For example, proteases break down pesky protein-based stains like poop and pee and are often found in enzymatic pet cleaners. Speaking of urine stains, your everyday cleaners and soaps won't quite cut it. Nor will “natural” household items, like baking soda, vinegar, or hydrogen peroxide.

In a clean spray bottle, mix one cup of distilled white vinegar with one cup of water and 2 teaspoons of baking soda. Shake it up to mix the ingredients, and then spray on the stain.
Using an enzymatic cleaner will help break down the smell in pee that makes dogs want to pee in that same spot. Nature's Miracle is the brand that I use and it helps stop most peeing.
Pet owners should opt for a water-resistant or waterproof plastic option, as regular laminate flooring and engineered wood may be damaged by liquids if they're not cleaned up quickly.
Yes, Dawn dish soap is an enzyme cleaner! This soap is created with enzymes and biodegradable surfactants. Surfactants work to spread out the surface tension of the liquid (in this case, pet urine).
First, enzyme cleaners, as we've stated, use biological enzymes to eliminate organic stains. Therefore, if dealing with inorganic stains, you will want to work with hydrogen peroxide — not enzyme cleaners. Organic stains are those caused by living organisms, including plants and plant extracts.
OxiClean™ Carpet & Area Rug Stain Remover works best on pet stains such as urine, feces, pet vomit and more.
Pet stains are an organic material, so protease-based enzymatic cleaners are best for getting rid of pet stains and odors.
If you don't have hydrogen peroxide or prefer not to use it, use vinegar. Spray the solution on the couch, saturating the stained area completely, and then allow it to sit for at least 60 minutes to work. Blot the area with a damp cloth to rinse the dish detergent, then blot again with a dry absorbent cloth.
Enzymes are primary active ingredients in products such as powder and liquid detergents, stain removers, laundry pre-spotters, automatic dishwashing detergents, and industrial/medical cleaning products to name a few.
Slowly pour the enzyme cleaner on/around the affected area, ensuring it has the chance to really soak in thoroughly. Let it sit for 15 minutes, and then blot up what you can with a lot of towels.
When mopping, mix enzymes with warm water to the correct dilution ratio and mop floors.
